Those figures are way off. Even with fraudulent loose criteria like CDC 1994 the prevalence of ME is about 1 in 500 or 0.2%. With the CCC it's...
I'm sorry you've experienced this LTSE, how many years has it lasted for?

I'm sorry to here that you never recovered from that LTSE. I think it's important that we sort out the correct language to explain what we...

I thought that is what MS is.
Gaslighting. Here's one I made earlier: They clearly don't believe in consequential progression.
I'm not really bothered by this, I believe in free speech so I wouldn't encourage a law suit.
Sounds like that pseudoskeptic Ben Goldacre. I guess a placebo could change heart rate or blood pressure but not actual disease.
